FABRIC MADE 0F SCRAP FELT 0R OTHER PLIANT MATERIAL.

Application led Hay '1, 1927, Serial No. 189,685, and in France March 19, 1927.

The object of the present invention is a fabric made of the waste of felt, leather, wax cloth, rubber, cloth or the like pliant material, said fabric bein adapted for making garments, footwear, hat ornaments and linings, sporting, travelling, and furnishingA goods. The fabric consistsin a plurality of elements, each element consisting of a strip of pliant material and having at each end an eye, said elements arranged in horizontal and vertical rows, said vertical rows composed by foldedl strips, two opposite strips of two neighbouring vertical rows being connected together by at least one horizontal strip, the next folded strip passing with its central portion through the eye of the horizontal strip and through both eyes of the preceding strip of the vertical row.

In the accompanying drawings by way of example several embodiments of the` object of the invention have been shown. Figs. 1 to 4 and 6` to` 8 show several perspective views ofseven different embodimentswhereas Fig. 5 showsl details respecting four different forms of the elements or strips of the fabric.

Scrap or waste material of felt, etc. is Cut out in the shape ofstrips. The strip A of Fig. 5 has diamond shaped ends the central portion being rectilinear; the

strip A has tail shaped ends, thepentral portion being rectilinear; strip A y has square shaped ends, both sides of the central portion bein concave shaped; the strip A has pointed ends wit curved fsides, the central portion being on both sides concave shaped. A'

Eachv end of each strip hasa hole .C of a `diameter sufficient to allow, without too great a deformation, the introduction of another strip into both the openings.

In Fi 1 the fabric is composed of verticaland yhorizontal rows of strips. Each folded strip A of a vertical row passes with its central portion through both eyes of the pie ceding strip. All strips are of sized Two opposite strips of the first and third vertical row, seen `from the left, are Yconnected .together by a h0ri'zontal stretched strip B the next folded strip passing with 4its central portion through the eye of the horizontal unfolded stripand through both eyes of the preceding strip of thev same vertical 'row. The end of each' horizontalstrip lies between bothends of ya folded strip..

The second vertical row oflfolde'dstrips 1s between leather gether by horizontal identical are connected together by horizontal strips.

The fourth,xfifth and sixth vertical rows are made in the same way as lthe three first vertical rowsand-so on. v

The so constituted fabric is finished therefor by a horizontal row of folded strips.

Fig. 2 shows afabric` the vertical rows of folded strips A being connected together by horizontal unfolded strips B placed crosswise. The fabric is linedvby a horizontal row of folded strips. ,f l I In Fig. 3 two vertical rows of folded strips A areconnected .together by horizontal rows of folded strips, always two folded strips of a horizontal row connecting together two opposite folded strips of two nelghbouring `vertical rows. This fabric has the. advan` -tageof constituting a tighter web, because both ends'of each folded strip of a vertical row two folded strips of 'a horizontal row are seized by the next strips `of the same vertical row. Of course the folded strips of the vertical lining rows, of the fabric seize only a. single folded strip of a horizontal row. In Fig. 4 the vertical and horizontal rows are inclined, forming lozenges. Each side of eachlozenge is formed bytwo folded ystrips A, the one of them passing with its central portion through both eyes C of the otherone. In each corner of a lozenge the central portions of two folded strips are passed through-the four eyes of two folded strips of the next upper lozen'ge,

In Fig. 6 only, the second nextv folded strips A of the vertical rows are bound to unfolded strips B.

In: Fig. 7 v each folded strip 'A of a vertical vrow. is connected by an unfolded strip B of'a horizontal row tothe oppositefolded strip of the neighbouring vertical row.v

Fig. 8 shows a.v art of a ladies market bag made of a fabric like that shown yin Fig. the fabric beingtighter, because the hor1- zontalunfolded strips B have a width equal to the length of a strip in folded state.;

The carrying-handles are made of folded i y strips A. n

It is, of course,`quite possible to obtain all kinds of other patterns, not ,shown on. the

l ne

These strips may have different colours and will allow of obtaining very artistic fabrics.

Having thus particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invention, I declare that what I claim is 1. In a fabric a plurality of elements, each element consisting of a strip of pliant Inaterial and having at cach end an eye, said elements arranged in horizontal and vertical rows, said vertical rows composed'by folded strips, two op osite strips of two vertical rows being aways connected'together by at least one horizontal strip, the next folded strip passing with its cent-ral portion through the. eye of the horizontal strip and through both eyes of the preceding strip of the vertical row.

2. In a fabric a plurality of elements, each element consisting of a strip of pliant material and having-at each end an eye, said elements arranged in-horizontal and vertical rows, said vertical rows composed by folded strips, two opposite strips of two neighbourlng Vertical rows being always connected together by an unfolded strip, the next folded strip passing with its central portion through the eye of the horizontal unfolded strip and through both eyes of the preceding strip of the vertical row, and the end of the horizontal strip' laying between both ends of said preceding folded strip. a

3. In a fabric a plurality of strips of pliant material, each strip having at each end an eye, said strips arranged in horizontal and Vertical rows, said vertical rows composed by folded strips, two opposite strips of two neighbouring vertical rows being always connected together by an unfolded strip, the next folded strip passing with its central portion through the eye of the horizontal unfolded strip and through both eyes of the preceding strip of the vertical row, each horizontal edge of the fabric being formed by a row of folded strips.

4. In a ladys market bag, a fabricconstituted by a plurality of strips of pliant material each end of each strip having an eye, said strips arranged in horizontal and vertical rows, said vertical rows composed by folded strips, two opposite strips of two neighbouring vertical rows being always connected together by an unfolded strip, the next folded strip passing-with its central portion through the eye of said horizontal unfolded strip and through both eyes of the preceding strip of the vertical row, each edge of the fabric lined by a row of folded strips, and a carrying handle being made of rows of folded strips.
